Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

Administering Physicians: Dr. Chad Brady, DPM, FACFAS and Dr. Richard England, MD

Uinta Medical Group is proud to now offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections. PRP is a treatment that uses a concentration of your own platelets to help promote healing and tissue repair. A small amount of blood is drawn, processed to concentrate platelets, and then injected into the affected area to support your body’s natural recovery process.

How PRP Works

• Concentrating platelets: A vial of your blood is taken and spun in a centrifuge to separate its components.
• Isolating the plasma: The plasma layer with a high concentration of platelets is isolated.
• Re-injecting the solution: The platelet-rich plasma is injected into the injured area, often guided by ultrasound.
• Stimulating healing: Platelets contain growth factors that initiate and accelerate tissue repair.

Common Uses

• Sports injuries such as tennis elbow, jumper's knee, and rotator cuff tears
• Osteoarthritis in joints like the hip, knee, and shoulder
• Tendon and ligament issues, including post-surgical repair
